Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 218 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 19 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,576 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Klein-Neusiedl, where the aircraft ascended from 1,613 feet above sea level to 4,665 feet, an increase of 3,052 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north-east of Trautmannsdorf an der Leitha, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 4,774 feet to 17,708 feet, an increase of 12,934 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 7 miles north-west of Kolarovo, lasting 3 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent from 17,748 feet to 1,724 feet, a decrease of 16,023 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the south-east, heading 313.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31R was successful, with a runway length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was 219 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -561 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 249 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,441 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The total flight distance was 132 nautical miles, taking 42 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,500 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 138 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 219 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate of -561 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the total landing distance of 1,441 meters was only 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from ideal performance, the landing was still considered satisfactory, with a score of 94.2%.
